Named after the birthplace of the Society of the Divine Word in Holland, the Steyler network of canteens and snack bars inside the campus cater to the gastronomic needs of USC’s growing student population. But dining outside the University is never a problem with the number of food stalls, cafeterias, fast food and fine-dining restaurants thriving around each campus.

Most offer native fare or the usual Filipino-Chinese fusion so choices are still largely limited for the most serious health buffs, vegetarians, and foreigners with less adventurous palate. But the malls, with their more eclectic restaurants and food courts, are just a short ride away from every campus.
